Introduce yourself here!

[El Turk]

Hi Everyone,

Looks like I'll be adding to the plethora of Mike's around here, though I figured it'd be easier to go by Turk. I have a decent amount of experience in the game (considering I'm under 30) and a wide array of cards and spending habits. Looking forward to joining the fun. I live in NYC (Manhattan).

 

[david zhang]

hello everyone. im dave and i'm in new york. been doing travel hacking for a while now and still have a lot to learn. Also would like to know more about the second level and learning more from all the seasoned pros.

 

[StammesOpfer]

Hi. I am near LAS. A member of the Armed Forces and trying to learn a thing or two while also trying my own ideas. Looking forward to these forums, and Level 2 access.

 

[pilottravel]

Hey all, I am a pilot that loves travel, my dogs, and my family. MS, CC churning, and the points game in general is my hobby. I hope to learn a lot and provide some feedback/new opportunities while I am here!

 

[Allune]

Hi, I'm Allan. I enjoy long walks on the beach, mai tai's and... Oh, this isn't the dating forum?? Joking.
I'm Allan. I'm 26 and live in NYC on UES. Been married for 3.5 years and love maximizing every deal so that we can travel. We strive to be away at least once a month and have been successful for it since starting this game. I'm not crazy, just enjoying traveling.
Lastly, I realized recently that this game doesn't make travel free, rather less expensive. Getting business for economy price. So being on top of your finances is imperative.

 

[niehaubs]

Brian here based in the fun and expensive (for flying) CVG area. Uh, what else, I'm 38, an engineer, and my current goal is to run a half marathon in every state and I have done 17 or 18 so far. Which means I am always open to new ways to get points/miles/money/better flights. I'm not afraid to try some things and I have a pretty good handle on what I can spend and afford. I will never be a power player in the MS game. Would love level 2 access since all tweets and messages refer to that content.

 

[Meghann]

Hi, I'm Meghann from the beautiful Hudson Valley in NY. Naturally I love to travel and wanted to learn how to do it for as little $ as possible. When I began learning about 2 years ago, I was lured in by the the circles and arrows blogs. Thankfully, I have since discovered this and other more reputable sources of honest information. I have begun to dabble in MS and would love to learn more.

 

[thoughts1053]

Hi all, I'm Jon and I'm from NYC. I started with MS 2 months ago. Since then, I've hit the minimum spend on 7 cards (between me and my spouse). Now I'm looking to maximize my efficiency and points earning.

Hi, Big fan of travel on the cheap. Have the SWA companion pass, just flew Flat bed to Australia and 4 nights at that Hyatt Sydney and 2 nights at the Sydney Hilton with executive level benefits for taxes only. This is the life!

 

[TTravelers]

Hello, I'm Jake. I've been in the travel hacking scene for a bit less than a year now. My wife and I use miles and points to fly free and stay in hotels for free. We're all about maximizing value and limiting dollars spent. Let me know what is needed for the level 2 access. Thanks and happy travel!

 

[JaVa]

Hey, Jason from Atlanta here. Have been dabbling in the travel hacking scene for a couple years and always eager to learn more. Would love to know what I need to do to get level 2 access. Cheers all!

I'm Dawn from PA. I have been ms'ing lightly for several years mostly through rebates and reselling. Just starting to really get into it. I really like this forum, as everyone seems really nice and helpful, unlike other forums. I don't post a whole lot, but I read pretty much everything! I really enjoy learning new ways of doing things.

[inakarjr36]

Hi everyone, Randall from NY here. Been travelling cheaply and in the points game modestly for about 6 years on an off and am more recently getting heavier into things. I'm always interested in figuring out ways to 'beat the system' and arbitrage opportunities and looking forward to the discussion on level 2. There seem to be tons of NYC enthusiasts on here. Maybe we should have a meet-up?
